BGer, 1C_59/2015: Pro­of of the com­ple­ten­ess of a dis­clo­sure under data pro­tec­tion law

From swiss­blawg to Judgment 1C_59/2015:

In the pre­sent decis­i­on, the Fede­ral Supre­me Court comm­ents on the pro­of of com­ple­ten­ess of infor­ma­ti­on within the mea­ning of Art. 8 FADP. Accor­ding to the Fede­ral Supre­me Court and a doc­tri­nal opi­ni­on, the owner of the data coll­ec­tion is obli­ged to pro­ve the truth and com­ple­ten­ess of his infor­ma­ti­on. Accor­ding to the Fede­ral Supre­me Court, howe­ver, in the case of nega­ti­ve facts, the other par­ty is obli­ged to coope­ra­te more in the pro­vi­si­on of evi­dence, in par­ti­cu­lar by pro­vi­ding coun­ter-evi­dence or at least con­cre­te indi­ca­ti­ons of the exi­stence of the fact in que­sti­on, in this case fur­ther data in a data file. The mere asser­ti­on that the infor­ma­ti­on is incom­ple­te is not suf­fi­ci­ent for this pur­po­se. In the spe­ci­fic case, the­re were also no serious indi­ca­ti­ons of incom­ple­te dis­clo­sure of the file.
